Re: Mail quitting unexpectedly

[Philippe Chaperon]

Thank you Jewels, in fact only last night I got the same problem and had to 
send my attachments in different emails! In desperation I have just installed 
Outlook and will give it a try, reluctantly, and if it behaves then so be it!

Many thanks again, 
 Cheers,

Hi Phillippe

Can’t help you, but thought I would mention that my Mac O/S Catalina - mail 
often quits on me if for instance I am forwarding an email with a number of 
attachments.  I have to make fresh emails and only attach say two attachments 
in order to prevent mail from quitting.

Hi Phillippe

Can’t help you, but thought I would mention that my Mac O/S Catalina - mail 
often quits on me if for instance I am forwarding an email with a number of 
attachments.  I have to make fresh emails and only attach say two attachments 
in order to prevent mail from quitting.
